General Commentary and Game Overview
Lakitu's in the sky were dropping coins, and the Mario Bros. need to catch them, or the Mushroom Kingdom will be flooded with coins. But not only the Mushroom Kingdom is in trouble, but the Flat Zone is also in trouble.
 
Pros +Two play styles
+Sounds in classic style can develop a tune
+Classic style feels like an actual G&W title
+Difficultly curve
+Has a demo
 
Cons -Mario and Luigi sometimes switch places
-Classic style looks jpeg-y
-Style select looks "meh"
-Can get boring quickly
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
You control two brothers (assuming the people in classic style are brothers) that carries a life net, trying to catch coins that are falling from the sky. If a coin touches the ground, then you lose a life. It includes a difficultly curve, which makes it little more fun.

But sadly, the gameplay isn't that shiny as the coins, because it can get boring too quickly. We all know it's supposed to be like a G&W title, but it isn't fun as it used to be by today's standards.

Anyway, the controls were simple and aren't forgettable.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
Since both modern and classic have different graphics, I'll make two sections for this.

Modern:

You'll see Game & Watch Gallery 4 graphics, which I think they are nice. The coins are also shiny and don't clash, but the font can be a little hard to see.

Because it's a black one, and it's against a dark blue one, which may be a little hard to see for some people.

Classic:

For a little decoration, you can see the platform that you are supposed to be playing on. Though, the buttons like jpeg-y.

But the people carrying the life net are okay, especially the coins. There is even a bridge and some plants for details. But like the buttons, the bridge looks jpeg-y too.
 
Sound
7 / 10
The music in modern style was okay, but sounds like one of those "meh" MIDI's. Classic style lacks music, but the sounds from the coins and collecting coins are there to make the music.

Modern style only has two sound effects, one is collecting a coin and the other one is missing one. Both of these were okay.
 
Replay
1 / 10
Once you have played it, and that's it. There is almost no replay value here, and there even isn't a high scores system.
 
Final Words
5 / 10
If you are one of those that loved and grew up and the Game & Watch series, then try this out.
